You know? Spouting the typical "It's not like I like you or anything B-Bake!" all that stuff.

I've never heard of such a thing and I'd like to know if there's a tsundere male main character?

I'm thinking on the same level as Aisaka Taiga and Louise from Zero no Tsukaima

There are a lot of series where the male and female MC are tsundere. Ranma 1/2 for example.
I probably regret this post by now.

There's a lot.

The most tsundere male tsundere this season would probably go to Hikari Sakishima from Nagi no Asukara. He's too much tsun.

Taiga from Toradora! is pretty singular. Have to think about that. Haven't watched Zero yet, so cannot answer that one.

Louise is pretty much known as the biggest tsundere ever, Taiga's got nothing on her :3

also 11/10 this

going around with the typical tsundere lines though is more unheard of for guys, but there are quite a few tsundere male leads out there for sure, they're just less stereotyped

The most recent male tsundere that comes to mind for me is Miyuki Sagara from RDG: Red Data Girl.

That does seem to be the case. So what does that make him, a tsun I believe

He might learn some dere later on though. I'd call him a 'sleeper tsundere' xD. The potential is there, but at the moment at least he's not interested ^^.

Of course there are.
There is just somewhat few of them, and most of the time they are hard to notice as tsunderes or tsundere guys are hard to find.

Newest example I can think of is Hikari from Nagi no asukara.
Also Ranma and Inuyasha.
Nyanko-sensei from Natsume yuujinchou can be a bit tsundere in the first season, since he denies that he becomes friends with Natsume. (if a talking cat counts)
And from what I've heard, tsundere males is the typical main characters in shounen-ai.

As much as I love Fruits Basket, all it's characters are, at least at first appearance, cliche. Kyo, the tsundere male protag, Yuki, the bishie protag, Tohru, the fretting Whatever-you'd-like-me-last female protag, Shigure, the pervert, Ayame, the extravagent almost-gay guy, Akito, the opressive main villain, Hatori, the heartbroken serious guy, Momiji, the boy lolita, Kagura, the bipolar girl, Uo, the yankee, Hana, the pysichic, Kisa, the shy girl, Hiro, the arrogant boy, Ritsu, the "The World was better off without me, I should just die!" guy and crossdresser, Haru the bisexual and almost cross dressing guy, and many many more.
y'all need to shut the fuck up.

Yuuji from Bakatest, England from Hetalia and Gajeel from Fairy Tail are the only anime examples I can think of except from what's been listed already.

Manga: Nishigami from Shindere Shoujo to Kodoku na Shinigami, Shiratori from Yandere Kanojo, Yanagi from Last Game, MC from Chichi ga Loli na mono de (forgot his name lol)

Btw I don't see these popular tsun guys from shoujo manga as real tsunderes. They are more the Senjougahara deal and lack the emotional insecurity real tsunderes have.

Tsundere isn't a female-specific trait >_> There are male kuuderes, danderes, yanderes, and whatever else that comes to mind.

I consider Kyon a tsundere for some reason. As do I for Kyousuke.
